Emerson Royal has been officially presented as an FC Barcelona player. The Brazilian took a few touches with the ball while wearing the full Barcelona kit for the first time at the Camp Nou. He then posed for a picture with club president Joan Laporta.
His shirt did not have a number but it did read “E. Royal.”
Emerson, whose full name is Emerson Aparecido Leite de Souza Junior, is one of four new signings for the Catalans this summer transfer window - alongside Eric Garcia, Memphis Depay, and Sergio Agüero.
Originally from São Paulo, he debuted at senior level with Ponte Preta before joining Atlético Mineiro in Brazil.
